tonight, senator graham, fighting back, mr. president, don't think for one minute, i don't hold you responsible for benghazi. congressman jason chaffetz is here. i suspect he said the two senators should be going after him, not the upled n. ambationz dor. perhaps he should invite them up. >> i would love to have this discussion with the president. >> greta: friday, general petraeus is to testify. if you were on the committee and you could ask him questions, what would you ask him? >> i would want to know more. but most important is what happened or didn'tv happen in benghazi. the president a couple of times prior to the election say said he did everything to protect and take care of the people in benghazi. if you look at the two-page timeline that the department of defense released on friday. you look at that, five times in there, it says they prepared to do something, but it's clear in there, the president of the united states never pulled the trigger. never gave the authorization, never told the military to engage in the fire
